Aromatic, structured dry whites with a pale golden robe, an ample palate and preserved acidity of refined white flowers (acacia, hawthorn), yellow fruits (peach, pear), citrus and mineral notes. An elegant profile between chasselas and chardonnay. Grown in French-speaking Switzerland for modern cuvées and identity blends. Swiss grape created in 1965 at Pully by André Jaquinet (chasselas × chardonnay).

The wine region of Genève

Switzerland's 3rd wine canton, a modern and diverse expression. Fleshy Gamay as the signature red: fruity and crunchy with notes of cherry, raspberry and sweet spices, supple tannins. Fine Pinot Noir (undergrowth, red fruits), spicy, dense Gamaret, deep Garanoir. Whites: historic Chasselas (mineral and floral), ample Chardonnay (pear, brioche), round Pinot Blanc.

The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel

Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
